The Majors (Brotherhood of War)

Third in the series "The Brotherhood of War" this novel captures the time of French involvement in Vietnam, how the US came to be involved there and the development of US Army aviatation - helicopters. As with his other novels, WEB Griffin (pen name for William E Butterworth) was there when it was all happening. Our Heros are back, Craig Lowell, Sandy Felter, Phil Parker, MacMillian. Through their eyes, Griffin provides insight what is like to be in the military, to form bonds this tight, to be in the thick of things and come through when it matters most. Griffin succeeds so well because he can put you there and make you feel what these characters are going through. While each of these novels can stand on their own, it is definately better to read them chronologically. I have re-read this book many times, I enjoy the series very much and highly recommend this book.

The book received was in better shape than I expected. It was received in a very timely fashion. Being one of a series written by W. E. B. Griffen,I needed this book to complete the series, but was having difficulty finding it.

I found out about W.E.B. Griffin a couple of months ago and really enjoy his books. My only complaint is that he hasn't continued the CORPS Series. McCoy, Pick, Banner and Fleming really kept me interested. Maybe not Flem, but the rest could have gone up to the Viet Nam era, or elaborated more until the end of the Korean frackus. Except for his police series, which I haven't started yet, all his book are well written, even those in collaboration with his son. Keep them coming.

I have now, in the past 3 months, read 7 of W.E.B. Griffin's books. I have only recently discovered this author and thoroughly enjoy all of his books and his very clear writing style. His books are more geared to "guys" than "girls."

If you're a Griffin fan, you've probably already read this book and series. The continuing saga of Lowell and company. It's still my favorite of all his series.
